BLOOD BANK CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE TO
RECRUIT ENOUGH DONORS
ERIE, PA –The blood shortage affecting the region continues as continued heavy blood usage this weekend prevented the blood supply from recovering. The Community Blood Bank is appealing to the public to recruit more people to come and give blood this week at the main office at 26th & Peach Streets in Erie. Donors can sign in Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm and no appointment is needed to save a life.
The wintery weather is expected to dampen turnout at regional blood drives as slick roads keep people from travelling unnecessarily.
“It’s going to take some extra people to end this shortage,” Says Dan Desrochers Director of Marketing at the Community Blood Bank. “We hope there are enough who will commit to saving a life to do it.”
The Community Blood Bank is located at 26th and Peach and is open Monday -Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday from 9am to 12:30pm. No appointment is needed to save a life.
